Lucid8's DigiVault took the SearchExchange.com Bronze Award in the Exchange Server Backup and Recovery category. One judge described the product as "a continuous data protection solution from a vendor who really understands the Exchange Server database."

DigiVault's continuous data protection backs up data every time a change is made on the Exchange Server. Email, calendaring, contacts and other Exchange-related data are streamed to a secured DigiStore repository. Should a database failure occur, DigiVault's SingleTouch Recovery enables administrators to restore an entire storage group or individual database to the pre-corrupted, consistent point just prior to the failure/corruption event. And, because DigiVault uses disk-to-disk protection during backup and recovery operations, there are no tapes to retrieve, so it's faster, more reliable, and has less operational overhead than traditional tape backups.

Pricing: Lucid8 DigiVault for Microsoft Exchange Server starts at $695 for a 25-mailbox license.
